Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“1951 willys CJ3A jeep all stock . PTO wench new tires 2 soft tops .. has hard top but is has damage runs great .. located in alturs . but will bring to klamath falls.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It appears the builder lengthened the body but forgot (or not) that the top would be too short to fit. So, naturally, the solution was to bend the windshield back.
“Built CJ2! The body has been lengthened and the fenders widened. It sits on two Dana 44 front axles giving it front and rear wheel steering, warn hubs, turbo 400 trans, 13in wide rims, link and spring suspension, equipped with drum brakes front and rear. There is a hole in the hood where the air cleaners from the previous motor poked through. This rig has been garage kept for the last 30 yrs and properly coated to protect it from rust. The gas tank has been relocated to the inside rear of the vehicle. NOTE: This is a non running vehicle there is an engine included. The vehicle is located in Clinton Utah buyer arranges transport, vehicle does come with a tow bar. !!Engine included but not installed!! The engine is a Chevrolet 327 from a 1966 corvette that was rebuilt 10200 miles ago.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It appears somewhat rough, but runs and drives.
“350 cubic inch motor, runs excellent, new brakes and master, perfect steering, electronic ignition… Drive it home today…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
There appears to be value here.
“1949 Willy’s CJ3A for sale. Good title (Is currently registered with collector tags). Rough body, ran as recent as last year. All original including PTO winch. $1000 FIRM.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
(06/15/2011) This looks good.

Bad:
Crack in rear right muffler makes a sound when letting off gas. It’s smog exempt. Fix at your own convenience.
Spare not full size.
Windshield wiper motors work, but do not move the arms. I suspect stripped gears. New wipers/motors/arms are $50 each.
Right mirror has some water inside of it and will need to be replaced. The round style mirrors are cheap for a set and will slide right into the holders.
There are a few small screw holes under the new top where the old style Bestop was installed. On the new one they moved the snaps. The benefit is that the new top will fold down like a convertible.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
